Bombshell: Second CRS Memo Covering for Obama’s Ineligibility Not Released to the Public…Until Now

Alan Note: this "hidden" memo was released on the Memorial Holiday weekend where it would get the least attention from a distracted populace.

It is thus clear that the proper analysis in the determination as to whether one is (or even can be) a “natural born citizen” – at least under de Vattel’s articulation of the principles of lawdistinguishing “natural born citizens” from “native born citizens” – is immutably fixed in time as of the moment of birth, and not at some subsequent time.

Early on, Obama himself verbally claimed to be a native born citizen (as opposed to natural born) on the basis of his claim of Hawaii as his birthplace. He admits, in writing, to his father being a British Citizen thus making it impossible for Obama to be a natural born one.

(May 30, 2011) — Sherlock Holmes once noted that the perfect crime is the one that is never detected. Those who are now finally discovering the unsolved mystery of Barack Obama’s eligibility under the Constitution as a “natural born Citizen” should read more Sherlock Holmes.

In reality, there is no mystery. Day-by-day, week-by-week and revelation by revelation, the empirical evidence accumulates that the man now occupying the White House may very well be plainly ineligible to do so. It only remains for the truth to finally catch up to him, as the truth always does. And yet legions of his supporters and sycophants are doing all they can to delay and postpone that day of reckoning.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. In order for a person to be born a “natural born Citizen” under Art. 2, Sec. 1, Cl. 5 – the “eligibility clause” of the Constitution as it was understood by the Founders under The Law of Nations by E. de Vattel, a legal scholar during the years the Constitution was conceived, drafted and executed – both such person’s parents must be, at that time, United States citizens and no U.S. Supreme Court case has held otherwise;

2. An April 3, 2009Congressional Research Service (“CRS”) Memorandum authored by one Jack Maskell, a Legislative Attorney in the CRS American Law Division and entitled “Qualifications for the Office of President of the United States and Legal Challenges to the Eligibility of a Candidate” and intended for distribution to members of Congress either

(b) intentionally, and thus improperly (and possibly illegally), alters the meaning of precedent through substantive editing by grammatical ellipsis omission of material words, and thus facts, in two federal documents, to arrive at its conclusion that Barack H. Obama is, purportedly, eligible to be president as a “natural born citizen;”

3. A June 5, 2009 Congressional Research Service “Transmittal” message to a member of Congress from one Jerry Mansfield, an “Information Research Specialist” in the CRS “Knowledge Services Group,” misinforms the congressman by stating that questions about Mr. Obama’s birth certificate have been “ultimately resolved”in favor of his eligibilitybased on a series of biased and badly-skewed Internet postings;

4. A second Congressional Research Service memorandum, dated March 10, 2010 and authored, again, by Mr. Jack Maskell, and entitled “Birth Certificates of Presidential Candidates and Standing to Challenge Eligibility,” but without mentioning or referencing the April 3, 2009 memo, commits the same conceptual errors of the prior April 3, 2009 memo and thus merely compounds and perpetuates the problem;

5. The issue of Barack H. Obama’s eligibility to serve as president under the “natural born citizen” clause of the Constitution thus far remains unaddressed on the merits by the U.S. Supreme Court and, accordingly, remains unresolved as well.

The Tonchen “Eligibility Primer” is particularly comprehensive and easy to read. While it does acknowledge the existence of the April 3, 2009 CRS Memo, it does not address the various unexplained anomalies examined in the following memorandum.

In addition, the recent publication by Dr. Jerome Corsi of a new book on these issues, “Where’s the Birth Certificate? The Case That Barack Obama is Not Eligible to be President,” touches upon, but does not directly address or analyze, the noted anomalies in the CRS Memo.

Thus, while the Corsi book reaches the correct conclusion – that Barack Obama is very likely ineligible to the presidency under the “natural born Citizen” clause of the Constitution – it does so without addressing the more serious problems with the CRS Memo. Accordingly, Dr. Corsi’s book, if anything, understates the severity of the problem. And, to be clear, Dr. Corsi and/or his researchers cannot be faulted for the oversight, because the anomaly in the CRS Memo is extremely difficult to discern, at best, unless one is specifically looking for it.

Interesting comments emanating around the world. Starting with the Islamic Iranian Suppression forces (Bassij) commmander happily crowing that the USA is laying the groundwork for the reign of Islam in the world!

Oba-Hussein Obambi appears to be under orders from his puppetmasters to destabilize all Arab leaders which are American allies and naturally suppressing the Moslem Brotherhood for their own sakes.

Note: how Oba-Hussein's enabler, Iran is NOT in the mix. Nor is Syria, which receives the mildest of rebukes from Obama since the 20,000 Iranian Bassiji suppressing the Syrian are his guys.

The fact they have killed over 1,000 Syrians in a matter of weeks and detained TEN THOUSAND in mass arrests puts them in a category as bad if not worse than the Tunisian leadership, Egypt's Hosni Mobarrak and Libya's Ghaddafi. All of whom suppressed the Moslem Brotherhood.

The Bassiji commander is proved right. By Obama's own Freudian slip of the tongue in a speech, he declared that he had gotten Tunisia, then Egypt but had to fill the gap of Libya. Inferring Ghaddafi had to go. And create a wide swathe of countries for the Brotherhood to grab power.

Interesting that Obama has clashed with his former mentor King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia over Saudi troops entering Bahrain, attacking Ghaddafi, supporting Iran and the latter now has strained relations at best with the USA and Saudi Arabia, a former ally is turning to China and even Russia!

The head Shia cleric of Bahrain, into which Shia Iran has constantly sent agents in to destabilize the monarchy has sided against Obama and his Iranian buddies.

And Iran and Syria are sending in disinformation agents into America to declare "Move along! There is nothing to see in Syria! All is quiet, nobody got killed!" Thus buffering the Syrian and Palestian provocative incursion plans into Israel to start a fight.

Again helping Obama help his Palestinian buddies/terrorists to destroy Israel, which as a good Moslem he not only hates but obeys the edict of his beliefs to destroy all Jews. LOOK AT THE HATE IN OBAMA'S EYES!

Remember,too, Obama's grandfather was a Mau-Mau terrorist so he has deep family roots to terrorism in his personal fabric. He comes from the seed of terrorism.

Being bounced about from Marxist indoctrination as a child from his "uncle", the atheism of his mother, the Islamism of his Kenyan father, the Islamism of his Indonesian step-father, his attending services at Indonesian mosques, his 20-year anti-American indoctrinatin under Reverend Wright and his hatred of Jews has created a very emotionally sick person.

If only based on his actions and policies, Article 25, Section 4 should be applied to him to save America.

This summer may see the end of Europe, the end of Israel and perhaps if Obama has his way the end of America as we have known her. Instead we could have the yoke of Islamic Sharia placed by him on all our necks.

GERALD CELENTE (photo below): The Spanish Are Picking Up Where The Egyptians Left Off, And By Winter The Revolution Will Be Global

"These revolutions are going to spread over the summer throughout Europe. By the winter it's going to go global."

Trend forecaster Gerald Celente gives a preview of his Summer Trends Journal in an interview with King World News.

Celente says riots from Iran to Spain are the beginning of another world war, precipitated by food prices, unemployment and inequality. Last year he claimed that 2011 would bring "Off With Their Heads 2.0" and the prediction is going well so far.

This is just part of one answer from his breathless interview with Eric King:

What's constant in all of these uprisings are the few factors that are undeniable. Food prices at all time highs. Unemployment at record highs. You have 18 to 28 year olds holding university degrees in worthlessness that can't get jobs. Go look what happened in Egypt. Average wage ten dollars a day, and that's if you're doing well. And you know the deal. You're smart. This is different from the old feudal age. In the neo-feudal age the people know the score.

What hasn't been in the news is what has happened in Spain, and that's the big news. Young people have wised up. They know the score. Those are the people that are ahead of all of these revolutions. They know that voting for either of the major parties in Spain means more of the same. It's like voting for the Gambino crime family or the Bananno crime family. And they want a third way.

And they're picking up where the Egyptians left off. They're going out into the streets and they're not leaving the streets, because again, when you lose everything and have nothing left to lose, you lose it. These are young people, as I said, with university degrees in worthlessness, they're internet connected, it's journalism 2.0, they're getting everyone out to join them, because they know now that if they don't fight against the machine, the machine is going to grind them up.

These revolutions are going to spread over the summer throughout Europe. By the winter it's going to go global.

In March last year I published a list of Barack Obama’s biggest insults against America’s biggest ally Great Britain, during his time in office. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then, including the Gulf oil spill and the White House’s campaign against BP, the now infamous Obama-Sarkozy press conference earlier this year, and the release by Wikileaks of US government documents revealing the Obama administration had betrayed Britain in order to appease the Russians over the New START Treaty.

In honour of President Obama’s state visit to Britain this week, here’s an updated and revised list, as a reminder to readers of the president’s less than stellar track record when it comes to US-British relations. The US president will no doubt be careful not to offend his hosts when he travels to London, and he will receive a warm welcome from the Queen and the Prime Minister, as any American president would.

But the prospect of an embarrassing diplomatic gaffe or insensitive remark cannot be ruled out from a world leader whose administration has all too often specialised in them. (AND THAT HAPPEND IN SPADES!)

As I noted in my original piece:

Without a shadow of a doubt, Barack Obama has been the most anti-British president in modern American history. The Special Relationship has been significantly downgraded, and at times humiliated under his presidency, which has displayed a shocking disregard for America’s most important partner and strategic ally.

There are a multitude of reasons for President Obama’s dismissive approach to the UK, and here are a few:
an obsession with engaging and appeasing America’s enemies rather than cultivating allies;

personal animosity towards Britain because of his grandfather’s role as a Mau Mau supporter in 1950’s colonial Kenya;

Democrat resentment over British support for the Bush Administration over Iraq;

left-wing disdain for the idea of Anglo-American exceptionalism and world leadership;

support for supranational institutions such as the European Union over the supremacy of the nation state.

(Alan note: and being an ignorant, uncouth dolt with an ability to attract other idiots like himself but nobody with any class)!

1. Siding with Argentina over the Falklands

For sheer offensiveness it’s hard to beat the Obama administration’s brazen support for Argentina’s call for UN-brokered negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falklands, despite the fact that 255 British servicemen laid down their lives to restore British rule over the Islands after they were brutally invaded in 1982. In a March 2010 press conference in Buenos Aires with President Cristina Kirchner, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave Argentina a huge propaganda coup by emphatically backing the position of the Péronist regime.

In June last year, Mrs. Clinton slapped Britain in face again by signing on to an Organisation of American States (OAS) resolution calling for negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, a position which is completely unacceptable to Great Britain. To add insult to injury, the Obama administration has insisted on using the Argentine term “Malvinas” to describe the Islands in yet another sop to Buenos Aires.

2. Calling France America’s strongest ally

In January this year, President Obama held a joint press conference at the White House with his French counterpart, literally gushing with praise for Washington’s new-found Gallic friends, declaring: “We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.” As I noted at the time:

Quite what the French have done to merit this kind of high praise from the US president is difficult to fathom, and if the White House means what it says this represents an extraordinary sea change in US foreign policy. Nicolas Sarkozy is a distinctly more pro-American president than any of his predecessors, and has been an important ally over issues such as Iran and the War on Terror. But to suggest that Paris and not London is Washington’s strongest partner is simply ludicrous.

These kinds of presidential statements matter. No US president in modern times has described France as America’s closest ally, and such a remark is not only factually wrong but also insulting to Britain, not least coming just a few years after the French famously knifed Washington in the back over the war in Iraq.

3. Downgrading the Special Relationship

Barack Obama very rarely refers to the Special Relationship, and has hardly even mentioned Britain in a major policy speech, either before or since taking office. The Anglo-American alliance is barely a blip on Obama’s teleprompter screen, and he acts as though it simply does not exist. The Special Relationship has also been largely erased from the official lexicon of the State Department, and is barely used by US officials in London. Despite being America’s only major reliable ally when the chips are down, London is now treated in Washington as though it were the same as any other European power, albeit less charitably than either Paris or Berlin.

4. Supporting a federal Europe and undercutting British sovereignty

The Obama administration’s relentless and wrongheaded support for the creation of a federal Europe, from backing the Treaty of Lisbon to the European Security and Defence Policy, is a slap in the face for the principle of national sovereignty in Europe. British sovereignty is non-negotiable, and Obama’s willingness to undermine it is both insulting to Britain and self-defeating for the United States.

While the Bush Administration was divided over Europe, the Obama team is ardently euro-federalist. Hillary Clinton described the Lisbon Treaty as “a major milestone in our world’s history”, and in an interview with The Irish Times in 2009 stated: “I believe [political integration is] in Europe’s interest and I believe that is in the United States’ interest because we want a strong Europe.” And in May last year, Vice President Joe Biden described Brussels as the “capital of the free world.”

And the US Ambassador to London, Louis Susman, has warned Britain that “all key issues must run through Europe.” According to a report by The Parliament.com, in a private meeting with British MEPs at an event in the European Parliament in January, Susman called for a stronger British commitment to the EU, emphatically warning against British withdrawal:

I want to stress that the UK needs to remain in the EU. The US does not want to see Britain’s role in the EU diminished in any way. The message I want to convey today is that we want to see a stronger EU, but also a stronger British participation within the EU. This is crucial if, together, we are going to meet all the global challenges facing us, including climate change and security.

5. Betraying Britain to appease Moscow over the New START Treaty

In February, The Daily Telegraph broke a major story with damaging implications for the Special Relationship, revealing that Washington “secretly agreed to give the Russians sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear deterrent to persuade them to sign a key treaty.” According to The Telegraph report:

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week. Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

A series of classified messages sent to Washington by US negotiators show how information on Britain’s nuclear capability was crucial to securing Russia’s support for the “New START” deal. Although the treaty was not supposed to have any impact on Britain, the leaked cables show that Russia used the talks to demand more information about the UK’s Trident missiles, which are manufactured and maintained in the US.

Washington lobbied London in 2009 for permission to supply Moscow with detailed data about the performance of UK missiles. The UK refused, but the US agreed to hand over the serial numbers of Trident missiles it transfers to Britain.

6. Placing a “boot on the throat” of BP

The Obama administration’s relentless campaign against Britain’s largest company in the wake of Gulf oil spill was one of the most damaging episodes in US-UK relations in recent years, with 64 percent of Britons agreeing that the president’s handling of the issue had harmed the partnership between the two countries according to a YouGov poll. The White House’s aggressive trashing of BP, including a threat to put a “boot on the throat” of the oil giant, helped wipe out about half its share value, directly impacting the pensions of 18 million Britons. This led to a furious backlash in the British press, with even London mayor and long-time Obama admirer Boris Johnson demanding an end to “anti-British rhetoric, buck-passing and name-calling”.

7. Throwing Churchill out of the Oval Office

It is hard to think of a more derogatory message to send to the British people within days of taking office than to fling a bust of Winston Churchill out of the Oval Office and send it packing back to the British Embassy – not least as it was a loaned gift from Britain to the United States as a powerful display of solidarity in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Obviously, public diplomacy is not a concept that carries much weight in the current White House, and nor apparently is common sense.

8. DVDs for the Prime Minister

Readers of this blog will know I’m no fan of Gordon Brown, but whatever one thinks of his third-rate premiership, Brown traveled abroad not as a private individual but as the leader of America’s closest ally. He represented 61 million Britons including the Armed Forces, as well as a huge amount of British trade and investment with the United States. He was however treated shabbily when he visited the White House in March 2009, and denied a Rose Garden press conference as well as a dinner. To cap it all, the decision to send him home with an assortment of 25 DVDs ranging from Toy Story to The Wizard of Oz – which couldn’t even be played in the UK – was a breathtaking display of diplomatic ineptitude that would have shamed the protocol office of an impoverished Third World country.

9. Insulting words from the State Department

The mocking views of a senior State Department official following Gordon Brown’s embarrassing reception at the White House in March last year says it all:

There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.

One would have thought that this kind of monumentally shallow insult would have resulted in at least a formal apology and a reprimand for the official involved, but unfortunately Obama administration apologies are strictly reserved for the French and assorted enemies of the United States.

10. Undermining British influence in NATO

Despite Nicolas Sarkozy’s distinctly unflattering opinion of Barack Obama, the US president has gone to great lengths to appease French interests, even going as far as apologising to the French people in Strasbourg for hurting their feelings over the war in Iraq. The Obama administration has also done its best to give Paris a lead role in the NATO alliance at Britain’s expense, granting it one of two supreme NATO command positions – Allied Command Transformation (ACT). This, despite the fact that France has for decades been ambivalent and obstructionist over NATO, and is failing to carry its weight in Afghanistan.

He writes 24 May 2008 under his signature at Westminster Abbey - instead of 2011! That is not normal under any circumstances unless you have a blank brain moment - scary for us if that person is in the Oval Office running the country (sadly, into perdition).

By the Way OBAMBI is 50%White, 43.75%Arab and 6.25%African. He does not even qualify as an African American under Federal regulations for ethnic minorities status!

Some reasons to believe he has brain damage:

1. He was - by his own book - an extensive drug user in his younger days. Did he fry his brain?

2. He has enormous skull scarring that points to heavy HEAD trauma injury or major surgery. No explanation has ever emerged. (Nor in anything else about him) .

3. He has deep neck scarring pointing to major surgery - possibly lymph nodes that could indicate cancer intervention or serious infection.

4. He cannot speak coherently without his teleprompters (or has STILTED, repeated hesitations if he tries) and uses the electronic aids even for addressing staff meetings, FIFTH GRADE school children (Graham Elementrary School) and even miscues and JUST READS what the teleprompter says when it is off subject or out of synch without apparent input from his brain.

IT'S MY PAGE! AND ONLY MINE. THE WHOLE PAGE!

He got the date wrong, didn’t cross the t’s in great and commemorate, and made a punctuation error by adding a comma after heritage.

ALSO he IGNORANTLY totally miscued his speech at the State Dinner:

The president paused, the guests stood, and the orchestra prepared to play.

But the president wasn’t done speaking.

“The vitality –“ the president said before the orchestra began…

“To the Queen,” the president finally said.

He lifted his glass to her, she smiled a bit uncomfortably.

But because the song was playing, no one drank from his or her glass, including the president, who put his glass down on the table. Later, the Queen raised her glass to him, to everyone but did not drink.

Protocol, apparently, requires the toastmaster to wait until after “God Save the Queen” plays and then begin the toast. But the almighty O waits for nobody so he RUDELY launched straight into his statement.

The Black Irish must be rolling in their graves. The Kenyans are pissing in the jungles (they were under British colonial rule for decades). Michele’s family might have been slaves. Obama’s father was a communist, a Soviet-oriented stooge, and a failed one at that, and his adopted tribe, the Luo, are ruled by another marxist, the Odinga klan.

A new Assistant United States Attorney was sworn in Monday for the Eastern District of Michigan, Abed Hammoud, formerly of the Wayne County Prosecutors Office, where he led mortgage fraud prosecutions.

And I may add, currently of the ADC (Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee).

I find it most disturbing that the same Department of Justice thats supposed to be handling terrorism prosecutions in this area has just welcomed to its team a man actively involved in three organizations that are on record for supporting Hezbollah and Hamas.
Item: Following the 2006 Israeli incursion into Lebanon, Hammoud was right out front in protest rallies in downtown Dearborn organized by the CAAO, of which he was then chairman.

An article from Dearborns pro-Hezbollah newspaper, the Arab-American News, triumphantly reported on the protests (Michigan: 10000 March to Protest Israeli Attacks):

As the crowd continued down the road, thundering cries of Israel out of Lebanon! Down, down Israel! and Death to Israel! rang out. As the rally continued its move down Schaefer, more and more people came running. They were joining in from back alley-ways, jumping out of cars and sprinting down sidewalks to take part in the rally.

Other than our own leaders, Israel pulls us together like no one else can, said Abed Hammoud as he helped lead the rally down the road. Hammoud is chairman of the Congress of Arab American Organizations (CAAO).

"Hatred for Israel pulls us together, that is. Hatred for Israel and devotion to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah can be very powerful motivators around here." At the time, NPR was reporting on the CAAO rallies:

At one recent demonstration organized by the Congress of Arab-Americans, about 1,000 people attended. College-age men asked, in call and response fashion, "Who is your army?" Protestors responded: "Hezbollah." "Who is your leader?" they were asked. "Nasrallah," the chanters responded. Many carried placards of the Hezbollah leader.

A few days earlier at an even larger demonstration, more than 15,000 turned out, about half of Dearborn's Arab community. . . . "Oh, Jews, remember Khaibar," the marchers chant. "The army of the Prophet will return."

Hammoud came here from southern Lebanon some time around 1990. He told NPR that his hometown is just a few miles from the Israeli border. His day job is assistant county prosecutor, but his passion is advocating on behalf of the Congress of Arab-American organizations.

They say its healthy to have a hobby. But does Hammoud's passion for advocacy require shouting allegiance to Hezbollah, and death to Israel?

Hammoud told NPR he regards Israeli airstrikes as “war crimes and atrocities” — attacks he does not hesitate to compare with Nazi Germany.

“The Nazis used to kill, especially Jewish people, using the ovens and the concentration camps,’ he says. “The Israelis use F-16s and burning bombs and smart bombs. I'm sorry. A death of a child is a death of a child.”

I’d be sorry too if I tried out an argument like that. Reflexively playing the Nazi card is a trick favored by the ADC.

Hammoud has shared leadership duties at AAPAC and CAAO with Osama Siblani, who publishes the Arab-American News, the current issue of which is calling for a “Third Intifadah” against Israel. Siblani is an outspoken supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas, whom he considers “freedom fighters.”

Hezbollah has such deep support in Dearborn that the local feds have had to spend a lot of time, or anyway, used to spend a lot of time, trying to keep track of all the money launderers, cigarette smugglers, mortgage fraudsters, and tax cheats wiring proceeds to fund Nasrallah’s rocket arsenal. In 2006 Siblani as good as dared federal investigators to try and do anything about it.

“If the FBI wants to come after those who support the resistance done by Hezbollah, then they better bring a fleet of buses,” said Osama Siblani, publisher of the local Arab-American News and an outspoken activist. “I for one would be willing to go to jail.”

You can talk big like that when you know the FBI has been warned to leave you alone. (By Oba-Hussein)

Hammoud has also used his position as a prosecutor a time or two to try to put the kibosh on speech he didn’t like.

That could be a handy skill right now when government efforts to “right-size” the First Amendment are all the rage in Michigan. In 2006 Hammoud was displeased about what he called a “smear” by an anonymous poster on the Russ Gibb online forum, Russ Gibb at Random, alleging that the president of the Life for Relief and Development charity, Khaleel Jassemm, was an AAPAC member. The Life for Relief organization had recently been raided by the FBI for suspected financial support to Hamas.

In his post, Hammoud denied that Jassemm was ever a member of AAPAC. I guess that’s true. (But, in fairness to the original poster, who was first in the members list at CAAO? Life for Relief). (And, while we're at it, who is 16th on the list but the MAS Political Action Committee, a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood.) Hammoud concluded his angry post with this creepy threat:

“I do however like to remind everyone that we all live under the law and that writing and posting falshoods (sic) can be punished. We also know that the great technology that allows people to smear others while they hide under screen names allows us to find out who they are if there is a need for a legal action. Thank you.” (Italics in original).

Kind of heavy-handed for an anonymous post on a blog mostly of local interest, wouldn’t you say? Now who on Earth ever heard of a county prosecutor trying to use his office to punish someone for saying something he doesn’t like?

And while we're on the subject of Kym Worthy,Hammoud’s boss as the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office since 2004, did you know she also had close ties with the ADC even before she sent Terry Jones to jail for the crime of visiting Dearborn?

Hammoud also once lent his professional support to an ill-advised Michigan House effort, Resolution 214, to censure Detroit News editor and columnist Nolan Finley for describing Palestinians as lusting for Jewish blood.

The Resolution was a screed directly aimed at enforcing an Islamic speech code in Detroit’s mainstream press. (Sample language: “Whereas, A state that prides itself on the diversity of its people should speak out against statements that foster hatred and intolerance;”).

Dearborn’s State Representative Gino Polidori, who signed on as co-sponsor to this resolution at the same time he was paying his jizya tax, explained himself to a concerned constituent this way:

This resolution is an expression of our support for free speech yet against discriminating opinions. While we must respect Mr. Finley's right to free speech, we must also recognize that we endure this same right.

That’s pretty clear. The legislature is for free speech, just against opinions they don’t share. Is there any wonder these rubes can't balance a budget? Between these guys and Jack O’Reilly, it’s a good bet Michigan license plates won’t soon be bearing the motto: “The First Amendment State.”

And as for Hammoud’s free speech, he’s certainly entitled to his opinions, no question. Nor has he been stingy with them before this. And as far as his landing that new federal job goes, it’s strictly verboten for DOJ officials to consider the political points of view of career attorneys in hiring and firing decisions.

Who can forget how that was stressed to us all those years when Democrats like Pat Leahy and Carl Levin were getting so emotional about it (they called it, “politicizing the Justice Department”). It was a moral infraction slightly below serial oil-drilling. At least right up until Eric Holder was appointed Attorney General.

So it isn’t that I think Mr. Hammoud should have been denied employment with DOJ just he holds strong political opinions that disagree with mine.

But Hammoud’s heavy involvement with Hezbollah-supporting organizations is more than just a political viewpoint. It’s the basis for a conflict of interest in a federal district where the majority of terror-related prosecutions are against criminals engaged in lucrative crimes, while fully committed to sharing their ill-gotten proceeds with Hezbollah.

And we shouldn’t forget how Hammoud told NPR that, while being an assistant prosecutor was his day job, “his passion is advocating on behalf of the Congress of Arab-American organizations.” And remember how Hammoud’s CAAO organized 1000 protestors in Dearborn, who were asked, “Who is your army?” to which protestors responded: "Hezbollah."? Why weren't red flags popping up during this guy's security clearance review?

Hezbollah’s status as a terrorist organization is more than one party’s political opinion.

That’s the judgment of the State Department and official U.S. policy. It’s the job of the U.S. Attorney’s Office to prosecute terrorists and supporters of terrorism, including those who materially support Hezbollah and Hamas.

Are we to believe that that kind of passion vanishes the moment you get sworn in as a new Assistant United States Attorney?

An extraordinary entourage will accompany President Obama and his wife Michelle when they sweep into London tomorrow.

The team of at least 500 will include White House aides, a six-doctor medical team and a squad of personal chefs. There will be more than 200 secret service agents, many of them armed.

The President will travel in ‘The Beast’, his gigantic bomb-proof General Motors Cadillac with eight-inch thick armour-plating on its doors. The limousine will be accompanied by a motorcade of at least 20 vehicles plus a dozen police motorcycle outriders.

He will land in Britain on Air Force One. But if this picture is anything to go by, Barack Obama might prefer journeying by sea rather than plane.

After the breakdown of his parents’ marriage, his father, a Harvard scholar, returned to his home country, Kenya.

Mr Obama moved to Indonesia with his mother Ann, but aged ten returned to Honolulu, where he lived with his grandparents until going to university.

Such is the emphasis on security that Mr Obama’s team has even asked to fit bomb-proof double glazing to the windows of his guest suite at Buckingham Palace.

The moves to increase the First Couple’s safety come in the wake of the killing of Osama Bin Laden three weeks ago.

Also joining the President on the trip will be one military officer carrying a suitcase containing America’s nuclear missile launch codes, plus representatives of six departments of state.

Mr Obama himself will fly on Air Force One, which doubles as a flying luxury hotel and command post complete with an operating theatre and gym.

The customised Boeing 747-200B, which is accompanied by a decoy aircraft, is said to cost around £110,000 an hour to run. The President and his wife, who are visiting Ireland today, will arrive at Stansted Airport tomorrow to be greeted by Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall.

After lunch with the Queen, the President will lay a wreath at Westminster Abbey before attending an evening banquet hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. On Wednesday Mr Obama will meet David Cameron and then address both Houses of Parliament in Westminster Hall.

Meanwhile Mrs Obama will join girls from Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School – the North London school she visited in 2009 – on a visit to Oxford University.

That evening Mr Obama will host a dinner for the Queen at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Britain, before leaving on Thursday.

Buckingham Palace staff have left nothing to chance in anticipation of the high-profile trip.

Aides admit, however, they were slightly taken aback a few weeks ago when Mr Obama’s security team demanded to be allowed to bring along their own portable double glazing-style glass to cover the windows in his bedroom as a temporary measure.

The Obamas will stay in the opulent Belgian Suite, which has hosted leaders including Nelson Mandela and President Kennedy.

A source said: ‘The Household does everything to make palace guests feel comfortable and there is little that we baulk at. That said, special requests are normally restricted to a certain type of tea or coffee or wheat-free bread for breakfast.

‘We like to think that our security measures would suffice, but if the President of the United States wants his own windows, then that is what he will have.’

By all accounts, so many Obama aides want to stay at the palace that some of the Queen’s own staff have to be kicked out of their rooms to accommodate them.

Another source said the U.S. team was setting up military-style beds in the basement and installing their own communication hardware.

‘The President’s team are running around the palace brandishing their guns as if they own the place – it’s like something out of that TV programme 24,’ they said.

‘They are also setting up a kind of mini clinic with hospital machines, including supplies of the President’s blood in case of emergencies.’

But sources say the White House team is ‘not nearly as demanding’ as those working for George W. Bush, who stayed at the palace in 2003.

His security team apparently wanted all 760 palace windows be replaced, while the helicopters Mr Bush used were, said the source, ‘so large that they shook the trees and plants to smithereens. The Queen was furious’.

This may be the couple in the House of the People﻿ but without any class and not the best representatives of our nation in public. Perhaps not in private either as one (white) Secret Service agent reportedly was fired from "family quarters" when he requested Obama to ask his family not to openly insult the white race in his presence with highly racist remarks.

Nor does the reported practise of Voodoon witchcraft cult by his resident mother-in-law in the private quarters bode well for all of us.

There is no need, nor do my views come from any racism of this "Irish" president, it stems from his policies and destructive actions, his favoring of Islamic militants and throwing Amercia under the bus! Again we have a right to criticize his faults and of those he has brought into the White House - both in the Oval Office and in his private quarters.

It is under his banner that this lady has imposed herelf as the role model of a correct diet and nourishment!

Again nothing racist nor personal intended toward either party but their behavior impacts all of us in America. And (sadly) on the rest of the world view about us and the "leader".

Specially with the alleged criminal elements in his background and activities coming out publicly as you can read below:

If former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin had a Social Security Number issued to her in Hawaii – a state she never lived in – would that raise suspicions among those in the national news media?

Well, the situation is similar with President Barack Obama, who holds a Connecticut-based Social Security Number, despite allegedly being born in Hawaii, starting his work career in the Aloha State, and never having lived in Connecticut.

Yet the national news media is virtually silent on this potentially criminal fact.

When Fox News finally attempted to explain it, it broadcast false information and then scrubbed it from its website.

When WND asked the White House about it, then–Press Secretary Robert Gibbs dodged the question.

Obama's mysterious and suspicious Connecticut Social Security Number is a focus of the brand-new No. 1 best-selling book, "Where's the Birth Certificate? The Case that Barack Obama Is Not Eligible to be President," by Jerome Corsi, who digs up information far beyond birth certificates.

For those who never wondered about how Social Security Numbers are generated, the first three digits represent the state of the recipient's mailing address. In other words, if you live or work in Connecticut, for example, the first three digits of your SSN will correspond to the Connecticut code.

The first three digits of Obama's SSN are 042. That code of 042 falls within the range of numbers for Connecticut, which according to the Social Security Administration has been 040 through 049.

Jerome Corsi's new book, "Where's the Birth Certificate?", is now available for immediate shipping, autographed by the author, only from the WND Superstore

"There is obviously a case of fraud going on here," says Ohio licensed private investigator Susan Daniels. "In 15 years of having a private investigator's license in Ohio, I've never seen the Social Security Administration make a mistake of issuing a Connecticut Social Security number to a person who lived in Hawaii. There is no family connection that would appear to explain the anomaly."

Does the Social Security Administration ever re-issue Social Security numbers?

"Never," Daniels told Corsi. "It's against the law for a person to have a re-issued or second Social Security Number issued."

Daniels said she is "staking my reputation on a conclusion that Obama's use of this Social Security Number is fraudulent."

"A person who wants to hide their true identity often picks up the Social Security Number of a deceased person, thinking that nobody would ever look into it," Daniels added. "I think it was sometime in the 1980s that Obama decided to hide who he really is."

There is no indication in the limited background documentation released by the Obama 2008 presidential campaign or by the White House to establish that Obama ever lived in Connecticut.

Nor is there any suggestion in Obama's autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," that he ever had a Connecticut address.

Also, nothing can be found in the public record that indicates Obama visited Connecticut during his high-school years.

An affidavit filed by Colorado private investigator John N. Sampson specifies that as a result of his formal training as an immigration officer and his 27-year career in professional law enforcement, "it is my knowledge and belief that Social Security Numbers can only be applied for in the state in which the applicant habitually resides and has their official residence."

Daniels told WND she believes Obama had a different Social Security Number when he worked as a teenager in Hawaii prior to 1977.

"I doubt this is President Obama's originally issued Social Security Number," she told WND. "Obama has a work history in Hawaii before he left the islands to attend college at Occidental College in California, so he must have originally been issued a Social Security Number in Hawaii."

The published record available about Obama indicates his first job as a teenager in Hawaii was at a Baskin-Robbins in the Makiki neighborhood on Oahu. USA Today reported the ice-cream shop still was in operation one year after Obama's inauguration.

Robert Siciliano, president and CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com and a nationally recognized expert on identity theft, agrees the Social Security Number should be questioned.

"I know Social Security Numbers have been issued to people in states where they don't live, but there's usually a good reason the person applied for a Social Security Number in a different state," Siciliano said.

WND asked Siciliano whether he thought the question was one the White House should answer.

"Yes," he replied. "In the case of President Obama, I really don't know what the good reason would be that he has a Social Security Number issued in Connecticut when we know he was a resident of Hawaii."

Within minutes of Corsi originally breaking this information in WND a year ago, Internet behemoth Google suppressed access to information about the report, linking to completely unrelated stories when consumers would search for the issue on the site's news tab.

Google also clamped down further the next day by warning that some sites carrying information on the situation "may harm your computer."

Meanwhile, in April of this year, some 11 months after WND began publicizing Obama's Connecticut-based SSN, Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel briefly addressed the issue while reading his viewer mail on the air.

Unfortunately for O'Reilly, the news anchor falsely asserted the president's father lived in Connecticut.

In his viewer email segment April 13, O'Reilly was asked: "What about Obama having a Connecticut Social Security Number? He never lived there."

"His father lived in Connecticut for several years," O'Reilly claimed, adding that "babies sometimes get numbers based on addresses provided by their parents."

In reality, there is no evidence Barack Obama Sr. ever lived in Connecticut. He left Hawaii in 1962 to study at Harvard in Massachusetts and then returned to his home country of Kenya.

When WND publicized O'Reilly's major error, the information vanished from the Fox News Channel's website, as well as BillOReilly.com.

The BirtherReport.com website, responding to complaints by Fox podcast customers that O'Reilly's Social Security claim, broadcast on Fox, had gone missing from the audio archive, trumpeted the headline: "Busted: Fox News scrubbed Bill O'Reilly's 4/13 mailbag segment on Obama's Social Security Number reserved for Connecticut applicants."

The site added, "Not only did Fox News scrub the podcast, they also left out the viewer email about Obama's Social Security number at O'Reilly's website. I report, you decide!"

More than one person has wanted to call Barack Obama a 'smart alec', and now British police will get the chance to do so without getting reprimanded.

That's because Scotland Yard has tapped the codename 'Chalaque' to refer to the U.S. president for security reasons during his upcoming state visit to the United Kingdom May 24-26.

Indarjit Singh, a Punjabi speaker in the UK who is director of the Network of Sikh Organisations, told the Sunday Times the word 'is sometimes used when we want to denigrate someone who we think is too clever for their own good'.

Has anyone mentioned the fact that, Osama Bin Laden's only crime, was that he was faithful to his religious beliefs? Osama was killed for strictly practising his religion, as instructed by his moon god Allah, and his role model, the mad Prophet Mohammed.

The Quran instructs Muslims to kill infidels, as part of the requirement to be a good Muslim. The Quran and Hadith also instruct Muslims to beat their wives, keep slaves, and forcibly convert non-Muslims by waging jihad on them. Many Muslims feel that the killing of Osama and his followers, is depriving Muslims of their religious freedom to kill infidels, as instructed by their violent holy book and their crazy pedophile prophet.

Hamas condemned U.S. President Barack Obama's speech to AIPAC on Sunday, saying it will not recognize Israel despite U.S. demands. In his second Mideast speech, Obama reaffirmed U.S. support for Israel and called on the Gaza-rulers to recognize Israel's right to exist, as well as free abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit.

He also condemned the recent Fatah-Hamas reconciliation agreement. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri was quoted by Ma'an news agency as saying that Obama's speech showed the U.S. government will continue "to support the occupation at the expense of the freedom of the Palestinian people."

Europeans and Americans have gone insane, in that they allow into their countries, the followers of a religion who are instructed by their holy book to kill Christians, Jews, and other infidels.

It is when, not if. Financial markets merely aren’t sure whether it’ll be tomorrow, a month’s time, a year’s time, or two years’ time (it won’t be longer than that). Given that the ECB has played the “final card” it employed to force a bailout upon the Irish – threatening to bankrupt the country’s banking sector – presumably we will now see either another Greek bailout or default within days.

What happens when Greece defaults. Here are a few things:

- Every bank in Greece will instantly go insolvent.

- The Greek government will nationalise every bank in Greece.

- The Greek government will forbid withdrawals from Greek banks.

- To prevent Greek depositors from rioting on the streets, Argentina-2002-style (when the Argentinian president had to flee by helicopter from the roof of the presidential palace to evade a mob of such depositors), the Greek government will declare a curfew, perhaps even general martial law.

(Alan note: fits reports of Obama strategy and tactics - to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution)

- Greece will redenominate all its debts into “New Drachmas” or whatever it calls the new currency (this is a classic ploy of countries defaulting)

- The New Drachma will devalue by some 30-70 per cent (probably around 50 per cent, though perhaps more), effectively defaulting 0n 50 per cent or more of all Greek euro-denominated debts.

(Alan note: we already have billions of NEW, very different, multicolored $100 dollar bills recently printed and ready but not distributed which can invalidate all old ones - unless presented and exchanged at US banks) thus CONTROLLED.

And the dollar is expected to drop as much as 70% and a SINGLE loaf of bread could cost between $270 at first and then require (like in the German Weimar Republic) a wheelbarrow full of cash - printed only on one side to hurry up supply to match demand - to buy A SINGLE LOAD of bread!)

- The Irish will, within a few days, walk away from the debts of its banking system.

- The Portuguese government will wait to see whether there is chaos in Greece before deciding whether to default in turn.

- A number of French and German banks will make sufficient losses that they no longer meet regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

- The European Central Bank will become insolvent, given its very high exposure to Greek government debt, and to Greek banking sector and Irish banking sector debt.

- The French and German governments will meet to decide whether (a) to recapitalise the ECB, or (b) to allow the ECB to print money to restore its solvency. (Because the ECB has relatively little foreign currency-denominated exposure, it could in principle print its way out, but this is forbidden by its founding charter. On the other hand, the EU Treaty explicitly, and in terms, forbids the form of bailouts used for Greece, Portugal and Ireland, but a little thing like their being blatantly illegal hasn’t prevented that from happening, so it’s not intrinsically obvious that its being illegal for the ECB to print its way out will prove much of a hurdle.)

- They will recapitalise, and recapitalise their own banks, but declare an end to all bailouts.

- There will be carnage in the market for Spanish banking sector bonds, as bondholders anticipate imposed debt-equity swaps.

- This assumption will prove justified, as the Spaniards choose to over-ride the structure of current bond contracts in the Spanish banking sector, recapitalising a number of banks via debt-equity swaps.

- Bondholders will take the Spanish Banking Sector to the European Court of Human Rights (and probably other courts, also), claiming violations of property rights. These cases won’t be heard for years. By the time they are finally heard, no-one will care.

THE FINAL NAIL IN OBAMA'S POLITICAL COFFIN! HE "KILLS" AN ALREADY LONG DEAD OSAMA BIN LADEN (SEE BANAZEER BHUTTO'S VIDEO DOWN BELOW THIS PAGE) ACTUALLY KILLS THE ELDEST SON, WHOSE DNA WOULD MATCH) AND TRIES TO OVERSHADOW REALITY WITH CONTRIVED LIES.

REALITY HITS THE WHITE HOUSE - THE IMPOSTER IS BEING OUTED AS A PERPETRATOR OF FRAUD! WHY IS NO LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY CHECKING THESE ACCUSATIONS / FACTS?WE HAVE A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THROUGHOUT THE GOVERNMENT HE HAS SET UP AND THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE UNDER ERIC HOLDER IS BLOCKING INVESTIGATION.

UPDATE: AT&T has reset the relay routing and server for our account, so should no longer be a problem.

BUT Google still provides glitches which may need their kind attention: for instance from the Main Page, clicking on the links in the left margin to other sections of AntiMullah also occasionally replies that "this page cannot be displayed" - both are links on Google Blogspot, so its seems the Google server has a glitch that is hitting us. A second click DOES bring up the subsections.

Still trying to resolve the statistics matter, which in no way interferes with "visitors viewing ability" only internal records.

To our visitors - Be healthy, happy and thrive - regardless if you agree with or oppose our views.

You are always welcome. We make no profit on you so this wish is genuine.

============================================================

I'm finding that in browsing with Internet Explorer 8.xx I am recently increasingly running across a message that basically says "Internet cannot display this page" in a variety of situations. Since most of them were not urgent or important, I moved on to something else.

However, if you CLICK AGAIN or refresh, the desired site DOES come up. This may also be because AT&T server malfunctions or bandwidth is insufficient. Lack of bandwidth messages from AT&T have also started appearing fairly frequently and YouTube videos pause or interrupt repeatedly rather than playing smoothly. And we have a high speed conection which has deteriorated.

One reason for bringing this up is to hear if others are having a similar problem recently. And also to remind you that if you click on any of our site secions and get a "cannot display page" just give it another click or refresh.

Since Google techies worked on some problems with their whole Blogspot system (and wiped out a number of our posts - THEN restored them ) - we have encountered a strange phenomenon. While they seem to have loosened the filtering blocks that prevented AntiMullah and the subsites from being seen by Search engines, the two external Statistical software applications that we use suddenly diminished by HALF - overnight! If at any given time period we had 5,000 visits we now have only 2,500. Both of the softwares equally influenced by whatever happened.

Something in the external statistics applications that kept score for each section seems to have been deleted or corrupted during the "repair", so not everything gets counted in each of them.

When you watch this video, you will hear time and again the White House representative state that the political contribution disclosure Obama wants to impose by his latest Executive Order before a contract is awarded - SHALL NOT play ANY role in the criteria for actual awarding of the contract!

Then WHY does it need to even be put in force? You're not going to use it but you insist on demanding it!

Does he really think "we the people" are so stupid that we do not recognize the chilling effect on companies who work regularly with the Federal government, or desire to do so, to contribute to his political party preferences. Although this information can legitimately be acquired AFTER a contract is awarded, OBAMA wants to wield the threat (though denied) of companies fearing not getting a contract, or having their chances reduced, unless they have contributed (substantially) politically to Democrats at all levels.

Here's another "invisible" tightening of the noose he has placed around our necks to exercise power plays. Such as the Executive Order to ban "supplements" like vitamins, or fish oil or other natural items "we the people" use to maintain our health WITHOUT the use of pharmaceutical medications.

I no longer trust Obama's intentions or think he has any desire to see our nation prosper and even believe there could be an unstated plan to weaken our nation's health in this way.

Similar to the Chinese flooding our country a few decades ago with "black tar" heroin at ridiculously low prices compared to other illegal drugs. And as Britain did to the Chinese with opium before that to weaken their resistance to British dominance.

The Chinese have since unofficially admitted they intended to weaken our national ability to prosper and maintain security by addicting our future generations with this deadly, horribly addictive drug, which our youth could afford to buy. Among illegal drugs heroin is one of the most harmful and deadliest.

Heroin is almost instantly addictive even with one use, as it deposits irritating crystals in the between spinal vertebrae, and only more heroin soothes the acute discomfort - depositing more crystals, requiring larger soothing heroin intake in a vicious spiraling circle.

Along the same lines, Obama has put in place and to some extent in motion, a ban on SURVIVAL by any of those who can grow or supply food for themselves and neighbors in their gardens, small farms or for instance by keeping chickens in back yards or growing vegetables in their flower beds or in pots. He is using food quality and FOOD health protection ras easons to prevent anyone feeding themselves and their families by their own efforts.

As you can see, you will have to turn to the government for sustenance and run the gauntlet of being frozen out of lucrative government business if you oppose anything they impose. With all hat is going on in North Africa and teh Midle East, for anyone to still deny his mixture of Marxist-Islamist dictatorship plans is verging on the ludicrous or political blindess/inexperience.

BTW, there is nothing racist in any of my comments. I don't care if he is white, black, blue, purple or any combination of colors BUT I do care about his destructive and self-indulgent and remorseless imposition of policies that will destroy America and sides with the Moslem Brotherhood, Jihadi Moslem Sharia and promotes (even by default) a global Islamic Caliphate.

And as a footnote to accusations of racism by anyone who fails to endorse this blight on the world, are they being racist to his 50% WHITE half or his Arab ethnical background? In reality, he does not even meet Federal regulatory standards for an African minority status with his less than the minimum required by law and only has some SIX PERCENT - that's all - of African bloodline from a Kenyan (in reality British East African Protectorate) grandmother . Or was it great-grandma?

Amazing how Obama's latest Birth Certificate gives his father's nationality as Kenyan (also African is not a nationality)! There was NO SUCH COUNTRY when he was born (August 1961?). Kenya became a country in December 1963, so how could someone's (father) be a registered national of a country which DOES NOT EXIST at the time of the registration?

ASSASSINATED DECEMBER 27TH 2007, Benazeeer Bhutto was a Pakistani-born politician, with Pakistani and Kurdish-Iranian origin, who chaired the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a centre-left and the largest political party in Pakistan.

Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state, having twice been Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996). She was Pakistan's first and to date only female prime minister and was the eldest child of former Prime minister of Pakistan Mr. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and former First Lady of Pakistan Mrs.Nusrat Bhutto, and was the wife of current President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari.

She speaks without hesitation of OSAMA BIN LADEN having been murdered and by whom while she was STILL ALIVE!! And privy to top national secrets and intelligence

Watch the video and decide for yourself!

When did Osama bin Laden really die?? When she, as a knowledgeable , powerful Prime Minister of Pakistan says he did (back in 2007 AS MANY CLAIM IT HAPPENED) or when Oba-Hussein claims it happened - ON HIS WATCH for his re-election credit?

This is what gives rise to his frozen body being introduced into Pakistan type of stories. NO DISCRESPECT intended for our terrific SEALs. Nothing points to their not having accomplished their mission - only as to what the mission was - hidden from them.

20,000 Iranian IRGC (Revolutionary Guards), GHODS (Special Forces) and Intelligence agents sent to keep "order" to Syria have so far murdered over 800 dissidents in just amatter of weeksand last week BEAT UP and ARRESTED some TEN THOUSAND Syrians with wide sweeps of the streets in the same fashion the Mullahs killed thousands of students in Iran's street protests in 2009.

Obama refused to get involved then and knowing the Syria's Bashar Al Assad is being helped by Iranian Mullahs, AGAIN REFUSES to criticize Syrian murderous actions which exceed those of Tunisia, Egypt or Libya. In those places he sided with the dissdents! But NOT in Iran or Syria!

Selective (pro-Moslem Brotherhood) decisions that have no more basis in anything but his strategy to destabilize America's allies - but not our enemies - like Iran or Syria! Or the Libyan rebels who for the most part consist of terrorists.

The second video shows animals as weird as Oba-Hussein and his administration!

Daniel Kish has been sightless since he was a year old. Yet he can mountain bike. And navigate the wilderness alone. And recognize a building as far away as 1,000 feet. How? The same way bats can see in the dark.

by Michael Finkel

The first thing Daniel Kish does, when I pull up to his tidy gray bungalow in Long Beach, California, is make fun of my driving. “You’re going to leave it that far from the curb?” he asks. He’s standing on his stoop, a good 10 paces from my car. I glance behind me as I walk up to him. I am, indeed, parked about a foot and a half from the curb.

The second thing Kish does, in his living room a few minutes later, is remove his prosthetic eyeballs. He does this casually, like a person taking off a smudged pair of glasses. The prosthetics are thin convex shells, made of acrylic plastic, with light brown irises. A couple of times a day they need to be cleaned. “They get gummy,” he explains. Behind them is mostly scar tissue. He wipes them gently with a white cloth and places them back in.

Kish was born with an aggressive form of cancer called retinoblastoma, which attacks the retinas. To save his life, both of his eyes were removed by the time he was 13 months old. Since his infancy — Kish is now 44 — he has been adapting to his blindness in such remarkable ways that some people have wondered if he’s playing a grand practical joke. But Kish, I can confirm, is completely blind.

He knew my car was poorly parked because he produced a brief, sharp click with his tongue. The sound waves he created traveled at a speed of more than 1,000 feet per second, bounced off every object around him, and returned to his ears at the same rate, though vastly decreased in volume.

But not silent. Kish has trained himself to hear these slight echoes and to interpret their meaning. Standing on his front stoop, he could visualize, with an extraordinary degree of precision, the two pine trees on his front lawn, the curb at the edge of his street, and finally, a bit too far from that curb, my rental car. Kish has given a name to what he does — he calls it “FlashSonar” — but it’s more commonly known by its scientific term, echolocation.

Bats, of course, use echolocation. Beluga whales too. Dolphins. And Daniel Kish. He is so accomplished at echolocation that he’s able to pedal his mountain bike through streets heavy with traffic and on precipitous dirt trails. He climbs trees. He camps out, by himself, deep in the wilderness. He’s lived for weeks at a time in a tiny cabin a two-mile hike from the nearest road. He travels around the globe. He’s a skilled cook, an avid swimmer, a fluid dance partner. Essentially, though in a way that is unfamiliar to nearly any other human being, Kish can see.

This is not enough for him. Kish is seeking — despite a lack of support from every mainstream blind organization in America — nothing less than a profound reordering of the way the world views blind people, and the way blind people view the world. He’s tired of being told that the blind are best served by staying close to home, sticking only to memorized routes, and depending on the unreliable benevolence of the sighted to do anything beyond the most routine of tasks.

Kish preaches complete and unfettered independence, even if the result produces the occasional bloody gash or broken bone. (He once fractured the heel of his left foot after leaping from a rock and has broken a couple of teeth.) He’s regarded by some in the blind community with deep veneration. Others, like a commenter on the National Federation of the Blind’s listserv, consider him “disgraceful” for promoting behavior such as tongue clicking that could be seen as off-putting and abnormal.

Kish and a handful of coworkers run a nonprofit organization called World Access for the Blind, headquartered in Kish’s home. World Access offers training on how to gracefully interact with one’s environment, using echolocation as a primary tool. So far, in the decade it has existed, the organization has introduced more than 500 students to echolocation. Kish is not the first blind person to use echolocation, but he’s the only one to meticulously document it, to break it down into its component parts, and to figure out how to teach it. His dream is to help all sight-impaired people see the world as clearly as he does.

It begins with the lid of a pot. “Stand up,” Kish instructs, then guides me to the center of his living room and ties a blindfold around my head, while mentioning, in a schoolteachery tone, that I should not for an instant think that wearing a blindfold represents the experience of being blind. A blindfold almost always causes someone who can see to feel frightened, confused, and disoriented. Kish is none of these things.

“Now wait here,” he says. Though he was born and raised in Southern California, Kish has an odd, almost foreign-sounding accent — a bouillabaisse of Canadian, British, and relaxed Los Angeleno. He says it’s a result of his many travels. “I’m a natural mimic,” he explains. Kish is 5-foot-7, thin and fit, with an impressive mane of dark brown hair and a meandering winestain birthmark on his left cheek.

I hear him walk into his kitchen, his bare feet padding faintly on the hardwood floor. “I’m very particular about feeling life and air around my feet,” he once wrote in the journal he braille-typed and shared with me. I’m barefoot as well. Kish asked me to remove my shoes, which is one of his many little rules you quickly learn to adopt. Like: He’s Daniel Kish, and anyone who calls him “Dan” more than once may be struck with withering disdain. And don’t disturb him during his sleep time — lately, he’s been sleeping just two hours twice a day, usually from 5 to 7 in the morning and again from 5 to 7 in the evening. He often stays up all night dealing with World Access logistics. He lives alone and does not have a significant other. He plays a lot of Celtic hymnal music.

I listen as Kish opens a cabinet and rummages amid his pots. He returns and stands behind me. “Make a click,” he says.

It’s a terrible click, a sloppy click; what Kish calls a “clucky click.” Kish’s click is a thing of beauty — he snaps the tip of his tongue briefly and firmly against the roof of his mouth, creating a momentary vacuum that pops upon release, a sound very much like pushing the igniter on a gas stove. A team of Spanish scientists recently studied Kish’s click and deemed it acoustically ideal for capturing echoes. A machine, they wrote, could do no better.

My click will work for now. Kish tells me that he’s holding a large glass lid, the top to a Crock-Pot, a few inches in front of me. “Click again,” he says. There’s a distinct echo, a smearing of sound as if I’m standing in my shower. “Now click,” he says. The echo’s gone. “I’ve lifted it up. Can you tell?”

I can, quite clearly. “Click again,” he instructs. “Where is it?” I click; there’s no echo.

I turn my head to the right and click. Nothing. Then I click to the left. Bingo. “It’s over here,” I say, tilting my head in the direction of the lid.

“Exactly,” says Kish. “Now let’s try it with a pillow.”

There are two reasons echolocation works.

The first is that our ears, conveniently, are located on both sides of our head. When there’s a noise off to one side, the sound reaches the closer ear about a millisecond — a thousandth of a second — before it reaches the farther ear. That’s enough of a gap for the auditory cortex of our brain to process the information. It’s rare that we turn the wrong way when someone calls our name. In fact, we’re able to process, with phenomenal accuracy, sounds just a few degrees off-center. Having two ears, like having two eyes, also gives us the auditory equivalent of depth perception. We hear in stereo 3-D. This allows us, using only our ears, to build a detailed map of our surroundings.

The second reason echolocation works is that humans, on average, have excellent hearing. We hear better than we see. Much better. On the light spectrum, human eyes can perceive only a small sliver of all the varieties of light — no ultraviolet, no infrared. Converting this to sound terminology, we can see less than one octave of frequency. We hear a range of 10 octaves.

We can also hear behind us; we can hear around corners. Sight can’t do this. Human hearing is so good that if you have decent hearing, you will never once in your life experience true silence. Even if you sit completely still in a soundproof room, you will detect the beating of your own heart.
